Quantifying
Luminaire Performance - How luminaires are photometered and how that
data is
applied in lighting simulations
Luminaire
performance needs to be quantified so designers can make informed
decisions
when selecting products as well as evaluate how those products will
contribute
to the lighting requirements of their projects. Learning how
luminaire
photometry is done allows you to better understand their performance
data and
how it should be applied. Details such as the orientation of the
intensity distribution, the location of the photometric center and the
luminous
shape can all have significant impacts on your lighting
simulations. It
is critical to know the limits of the data supplied by the manufacturer
and
what is contained in IES files so that you can obtain the most accurate
lighting simulations possible and avoid reworking projects that don’t
perform as
expected.
This
seminar will cover the basics of how luminaires are photometered, how
distributions and photometric centers are defined, near field/far field
photometry, and the surprising importance of luminous geometry.
